Is Lr 6 already installed before upgrading the MACOS?

If not, no, the installer is 32 bit, will not run MACOS Catalina or newer.

Yes and no. Yes, if  installed prior to an OS that needs a 64-bit installer, it will run but far from ideally for a number of reasons. I am running (ocassionally) LR5 under Monterery, installed years and years ago under an older OS of course. Maps is broken completely. There are other bugs and a large lack of camera, lens support etc but yes, it runs. I wouldn't run such an old application seriously, I run LR5 mainly for testing and having an older catalog on 'parity' with a modern version but I don't us this seriously nor expect to do so into the future.

    Hi, LR is not my primary program since a couple of years. I only verified that I can access it. 

    is there something special you wonder about ?

      Is it possible to upgrade your Mac running Sierra to Monterey?
